Miller Paces Wichita Proa in Opening Victopr Over Camp Gruner I PASSES NET BIG GAlgS By IfilLL HODGE (Eacle Sports Stall)' Aero Commandos made their season debut in Lawrence stadium yesterday afternoon moving out on a thin carpet of grass that covered last summer's basest ball diamond to trounce Camp army eleven 26 to 0 before a gathering of approximately 2500 fans Although game into the closing minutes the army team was outclassed all the way on slippery footing in the old infield being' unable to gain through the Commando line which they -spent most of their time attempting Never did the Gruber squad offer any- serious threat to the visions of winning with their best point a passing attack used in-the closing minutes going for three completions out of 11 attempts to move the ball 38 yards Within the first minute of play the Commandos set up what later proved the first scoring threat from their own 30-yard line when Burt Hayes former back' intercepted a Gruber pass From that point on their second play lanky Ralph Miller former basketball ace unlimbered his right arm tossing down to Triplett on the Gruber' 35 who flipped the pigskin as It touched his fingertips to Hayes who raced to a Wichita touchdown before the game was two minutes Their second score came before -the midway point in the first half had passed with Mooney setting it up as he knifed to the Gruber 23 off the scrimmage line on the 35-yard marker There again Miller heaved into the flat 1 this time to Elmo Kelly another product who carried to the three-yard i line On the next play faul Graham plunged for the second' tally and kick put the pros out ahead by a 13 to 0 score From there ion in it was pretty much a repetition of what 1 had gone before with short passes and long ones threatening the Gruber goal and interceptions turning them 'back to midfield before taking over again Twice however with Wheeler sharing off with big Doug McEnulty at toting the mail and with a -few passes for gains from Gene Ronzanl to Wheel-1 er or Kelly the Wichitans managed to score before being sent back to their places by the referee to kick off again On the third touchdown it was Wheeler who crossed and when It came time to decide who was to have the honor of scoring the final touchdown from the Gruber 5-yard line McEnulty drew the chance crashing over in one plunge Ptartinc Lintua

biggest turnovers of sectional football champions on record is in prospect this war-time season on the tyisls of the extraordinary results written into the book spectacular program high-spotted by the defeat of Min nesota Texas Fordham Louisiana State Tulane and Notre Dame also saw two 1941 sectional title-holders r-Mlsslssippl State of the Southeastern conference and Duke of the Southern both trounced within their own competitive groups And that probably is simply the begin nlng However one of last sectional champions Minnesota still looks plenty good enough to repeat The Gophers saw their great 18-game winning streak broken 7-6 by Bernie exceedinly tough Iowa naval pre-flight outfit but lost little if any prestige thereby The Gophers outgalned Cadets by a wide margin and if any Big Ten rival can take measure it is not now discernible by the naked eye Mississippi State unbeaten within the Southeastern conference since 1939 dropped a decisive 21t6 decl- sion to Alabama but there was no reaj upset in that because the Crlm- son Tide was known to be strong trouncing by Wake Forest's Deacons previously beaten by underrated North Carolina came as a big surprise The Deacons really poured it on 20-7 Aid earned -their first triumph over Duke since -1926 Ndtre Dame Texas and Fordham all fell afoul of intersectional opponents Fordham long and eastern power took an unholy shellacking from Volunteers 40-14 all the more shocking in view -of the fact that -Tennessee had been held to a scoreless tie by South Carolina thq previous week Just what has happened at Notre Dame nobody seems to know Following their 7-7 draw with Wisconsin of a week ago the Irish were whipped by Georgia Tech's clever Engineers 13-6 Texas surrendered to Northwestern 3-0 on a field goal kicked

result of the Cards ability to take advantage of every opening Atley Donald who had been summoned to relieve llookie Hank Borowy with none out In the fourth four runs already across and two on base made himself the victim today He gave two successive walks at the start of the seventh The first was to Enos (Country) Slaughter and the second to Stan Musial With the fount on Muslal 3 and 2 Slaughter set sail for second and catcher" Bill- Dickey not knowing whether the next pitch was a ball or strike made a wild throw to second that allowed Slaughter to 1 go on to third Walker Cooper singled 'him home sending Donald to the showers and bringing Ernie Bonham in Johnny Hopp sacrificed Whltey Kurowskl was walked intentionally to load the bases and a long fly by Martin Marion brought Cooper home The Cards added a run -for extra measure in the ninth on a single1 by Hopp a sacrifice by Kurowski and a single by relief pitcher Lefty Max Lanier who was awarded credit for the victory by the official scorers Cooper in Trouble Mort Cooper the big grinning rightvhancjler who had won 22 games this season In the National league but who was the loser in the opening game of the series made an attempt to salvage his reputation today Instead he "had it marred even more 1 He was thrown for a one-run loss in the first inning when Red Rolfe doubled and Roy Cullenblne sln- gled but he seemed capable of hold Ing the 6 to 1 lead furnished him in the fourth when the Cardinals came bo bat 11 times wlty the first six of jLhem scoring This explosion was set off by Mu-slal led off with a safe bunt that incited the Yankees to an angry protest around Umpire George Magerkurth Walker Cooper followed with another single that sizzled between Borowy legs and Hopp waited out a walk to load the bases After' that things happened fast and loose Kurowskl smashed a ground single through Rolfe for two runs and the blond slender rookie on the mound yielded to the pressure Mopping his brow he walked Marion oh four pitches to load the bases and Mort Cooper brought in another pair of runs with a single to' right Donald made his appearance at this point and forced Jimmy Brown to fly out But Terry Moore smashed a single to center on the first pitch for a run and after Slaughter had forced Moore Muslal on his second turn at bat doubled the sixth run across By making two hits in one inning he tied a' world series reedrd held by Several players Walker Cooper finally grounded but to end the Inning There probably was no one in the big elosely packed stadium who thought Cooper would have any real trouble after that and he set down the Yanks In order in the next two chapters But little Phil Rlzzuto'who made three hits during the proceedings opened the sixth stanza with slashing single to left Rolfe walked and the Cardinals bullpen went into action but Cooper was allowed to remain until Cullenblne singlet Rlzzuto home DIMagglo popped out' 'a 1 Keller hammered his high arching homer into the lower right field stands about 400 feet from the plate This caused Manager Billy South-worth to bring in Harry Gumbert and the former right-hander of the New York Giants who appeared as relief in the first game of the series might have stopped matters right there However Kurowskl made a wild htrow bn a grounder by Joe Gordon and after1 Dickey-had been thrown out on a fine play by Brown Gerry Prlddy blooped a dbuble into right-field for the tying run Prlddy was In the lineup at first base in place of Buddy Hassett who broke thumb trying to bunt yesterday and was out for the rexnalner of the series The crowd set up a roar of approval and littered the outfield with papers but lefty Howie Pollet made Donald ground out Since the Cardinals came back snorting with two runs in the next inning under ordinary baseball procedure Pollet would have received credit for the triumph by pitching to only one man because he was removed for a'plnchhltter-unsuccessfully before the Yanks came to bat again Lanier Gets Credit But Lanier took charge from the seventh on holding the Yanks helpless on two singles and batted in St Louis' final run so the scorers decided he should have credit for the outcome Altogether Cardinals used four pitchers and the Yankees three and for the: first time in the series fit Louis outhlt the Yankee powerhouse 12 to 10 with DIMagglo going hitlcss after accounting for six safeties in the first three games This caused both pilots to come up to what may be the final game here tomorrow with only one Ibgi cal pitching choice Manager Joe McCarthy of the Yanks said he would start Red Ruffing the 38 year-old veteran who set a world series record by pitching 7i hit-less innings In the first game although batted out of the box In the ninth Southworth

flxid they were human Terry Moore says Bill Dickey pulled a smart one on him in Saturday's game Moore was called out coming into home and he says Dickey has-nt tagged him yet missed' me and then turned his back and Walked away like there was no question but what I was out" Moore says The Yankees outsmarted themselves again' today The Cards probably have thought of bunting until Phil Rizzuto arid Red Rolfe showed how easy It was in the thlrd the way Stan Musial started the big St Louis inning in the fourth That was really bye baby bunting for the Yanks When Musial was called safe on his dribbler toward! third Rolfe almost -beat his own jthrow over to first to register his squawk It does seem that the Yanks have nerves that go Jlngle-Jangle-Jingle Buddy Hassett the only casualty

difference between Joe Di Maggio and Terry Moore is that Moore looks like running The results out there are the same They are saying now that the Yankees have been made such! heavy favorites They say

regain heavyweight honors when the pair tangle a week from tonight The big ex-Hungarian star who last year took up residence in Wichita refused to comment on what manner or tactics he will employ against Grandovich but the happiness with which he went about his work made it apparent that he feels the match a mere mtter of form Having kept the glimmering hope that he would one day get another chance in the same ring with the Russian giants he said yesterday that he is already near the best condition df his career and that he will reach his peak before bell-time Over In the Gandovich camp there was confidence but not so apparent as displayed by the challenger Hie belt-wearer with a victory over Virag which he maintains was a fair one can see no reason why he should fear him in a return meeting1 He denied that he had ever attempted to evade a match vith Virag but explained his failure to meet him was because he felt some of the other campaigners in the Mlddlewest more capable of giving him a good match Grandovich was out in the open about the manner lxi which- he plans to throw his challenger and as he puts it apply my bearhug" Young Beazley was Immensely pleased with the

one of them when he said: 'got our work cut out for us" In his office Manager Joe McCarthy forced a smile as he was confronted by newspapermen something that appeared impossible for him after game He declined to make excuses for Hank Borowy his starting pitcher routed In the big fourth inning or for the ill-fated throw to second base by- Catcher Bill Dickey which put the winning runs in scoring position Dickey himself explained why he threw to second base on Enos attempted steal on a 3-2 pitch to Stan Musial pitch was close enough to be called a strike" he said the call was a little late I was set to throw and when he called it a ball I hold it back" Borowy admitted that he was pressing too hard" didn't seem to have my stuff" he declared 'Maybe it was the importance of my first world
